Tun EXECUTION OF THE FIVE PIRATES—This Day, One of the most remarkable executions that has decantred in front of the debtor's door of the Old Bailey,since the year 1828, took place this morning, namely, the carrying into. eflect the dread sentence of the law on five of the men con victed at the last seesions of the Central Court of the mur der of the captain, the captain's brother, the first mate, the steward, 000 k and lamptrimmer of the unfortunate ship Flowery Land, who left the port of London in September of last year for Singapore. Light of the crew, viz., Juan Leon, Francisco Blanco, Marco Varto, Ambrosio. Miguel Lopez, Marsalino, Les Santos, and George Carlos, were ir dieted for the murder, but the latter, Carlos, was acquitted of the capital crime, the remaining seven being found guilty and sentenced to death. Some days ago Mr. Beard, the solicitor far the defence on the trial, acting in concert with the Spanish Consul, pre pared a memorial stating the grounds on which the con victs S mtos and Marsalino besought the clemency of the Crown. The?' submitted that throughout the whole of the trial no evidence was adduced on behalf of the prosecu tion to show that either Santos or Marsalino took a direct part in the murder of the captain. The evidence against them, they said, went chiefly to show that after the murder they were present at conversations between the second mate, TafFsr, and the prisoner Lyons, who acted as spokesman for the rest of the crew; that they shared in the division of the captain's money, and were present when the order was given to the carpenter to scuttle the ship. Anderson, the carpenter, on the trial deposed to Marsalino having conveyed to him by signs that it was he who struck him with a capstan bar while the carpenter was assisting the chief mate from the deck after he had been beaten. Marsalino represents that the carpenter had altogether misunderstood him in that respect, and that what ho meant to convey was that it was the prisoner Watto who struck him. This was corroborated by the pri soners Lopez and Blanco, and they, with the rest of the convicts, state that so far from being an accomplice in the murder Marsalino was opposed to it, and also to the subse quent acts of violence. On behalf of Santos it was urged that he was unable to help the captain or prevent his mur der, as he had wished to do, The result of the exertions made to save the lives of the two mon was that Mr, Jonas, the Governor of Newgate, received a communication from the Home-office, under the hand of Sir George Grey, re spiting the sentence of death in the cases of the convicts Lea Santos and Marsalino during her Majesty's pleasure, and an intimation that the five other convicts, namely, Leon, Blanco, Daranno, Watto, and Lopez would remain for execution. For some days the utmost precaution have been taken by the police authorities in the City for the prevention of acci dents. The usual style of barriers invariably erected at the top of all the thoroughfares into the Old Bailey, were laid aside as useless, Lut in their place others of extra ordinary strength were placed, and on Saturday the whole of the space in the Old Bailey, from Ludgate-hill to New gate-street, and thence along Giltspur-street towards Smithfield, was intersected by formidable barriers placed at short invervals, to lessen the pressure and to prevent the fearful swaying and surging of the multitude that was cer tain to assemble on the terrible occasion. In addition to this the footways on each side of the Old Bailey from Newgate street to Ludgate-hill are guarded by strong barricades, to afford means of exit in ease of need, and hoardings have been put to prevent people clinging to the chevaux de. frise which runs along the low wall of the courtyard of the Sessions house, orlto any of the projecting parts of the architecture. A similar arrangement has been made in front of St. Sepulchre's Church, which commands a view of the place of execution, and, where, on this very day of thramontin 57 years ago, at an execution for the murder of Mr. Steele, about 30 people were killed by the giving way of an iron palisading, to which they had clung while standing on the wall of the churchyard. If a person this morning could have placed himself upon some high eminence and have obtained a clear perspective view of London, he would have seen, wending their way through the principal thoroughfares between the hours when the groat city is ordinarily hushed in silence, people of all classes and both sexes seemingly bent upon one and the same destination. Perhaps, at a considerable distance from the general place of rendezvous, the echo of the streets was only disturbed by the hurried tramp of solitary pedestrians, bat as the distance grew Ices the number of persons in the streets increased, and the actual spot to which, as it wore, the different streams of moving humanity ran was one large miss of people filling the footways. Strange it is that the morbid tastes and feel - ing of the people to witness a public strangulation are so great that remaining throughout the night in the street on a hitter winter's night with the thermomeuter six degrees below freez ing point, squeezed on all sides by a mob, and the probability of being seriously injured, or robbed, are not thought too great risks to encounter, in order to witness the terrible drama of which the frowning and black Old Bailey was to be the scene. Hundreds of people assembled last night, and they kept gradually increasing in numbers, until at six o'clock this morning all the approaches to the place of execution were completely blocked up. Better order was preserved than could be expected, owing to the most indefatigable efforts of the police, who mustered in great force, The crushing and swaying to and fro of the crowd, notwithstanding all their efforts, was terrific, and every now and then the police had to renew their efforts to prevent the barriers yielding to the enormons pressure put upon them. For some time be fore 8 o'clock the whole place presented the appearance of a fair. Boys and girls, the refuse of the neighbourhood of Ratcliff, Wapping, the Mint, and other low neighbourhoods, together with men and women from the same parts of the metropolis, formed a great proportion of the motley multitude. Venders of brandy-balls, hot potatoes, and hot pies pursued their vocation with great success, perhaps the most comfortable thing procurable for money, on such a morning, was a hot potatoe, which offered to those not disposed to eat, a warmth to the hands which was, to all appearance, a very general desire. The chief conversation appeared to turn upon the novelty of so many being hung together, and the observa tion, "I wonder whether they will die game," was fre quently to be heard. The machine of death was placed in the usual position in root of the Debtor's Door. It was an enormous looking_ construction, covered with black cloth, and compared with that generally used, it would be at least three times its size, The Sheriffs of London, Mr. Nissen and Mr. Grave, with Mr. Nicholson and Mr. Gammon, the Under Sheriffs, arrived at Newgate about 7 o'clock, and waited until the hour fixed for the execution. From an earlier hour in the morning the priests who had been in attendance on the doomed men since their conviction were again with them, and remained until the last. M. Morphinoz, Archmandrite of the Greek Church in London-wall, at tended upon the convict Watto, and the other four received the consolations of religion from the lips of the Rev. James Hussey of the Roman Catholic Chapel in Moor fields, and Fathers Joseph Louis and Hermann, the last named two being Spanish priests. Shortly before S o'clock the Sheriffs and Under Sheriffs, who wore their respective robes and badges of office, accompanied by Mr. Jonas, the Governor of Newgate, the Rev. Mr. Davis, the Chaplain, and Mr, Gibson, the surgeon, went in procession to the part of the prison in which the convicts were spending their last moments. On this occasion each of the five prisonora was brought out from his cell in rota ioso, and pinioned at the entrance to it. This was a precautionary measure to prevent men with charac ters so desperate as those of the convicts from having any communication at such a time. Watto was first brought out to be bound. He had greatly improved in ap pearance since his trial, when ho was one of the least pre possessing of them all, if such a term could indeed ha applied to any one of the prisoners. Unlike all the rest, who were men of swarthy complexion, Lopez perhaes excepted, he was of fair visage, with a profusion of light brown hair, and his youthful countenance now bore a touching and resigned expression. He submitted quietly to the process of pinion ing, and, at its conclusion, seeing a warier near who had attended him since his conviction, he beckoned him to him. As the man approached, Watto, whose hands ware then bound, bent forward, with a grateful look, to kiss him on the cheek. The warder declined the proffered salute, uPoSaa which it was explained to the convict, lest he should 'reel hurt, that it was a mode of parting to which men in this country were unaccustomed. Lopes, a short, slightly made man, next submitted himself to the hands of the executioner, exhibiting as he did so the same defiant and reckless air which had characterised him through out the trial. It is said of him that on leaving the dock atter sentence of death had been pronounced . by Baron Bramwell he attempted to dance a reel, until the act of indecorum was repressed by the gaoler. Daranno, a mere lad in appearance, then underwent the process of pinioning, and was the only one yet who had shown any symptoms of a faint heart. After him came Blanco, who had taken the most conspicuous and relentless part in the murders. Ho it was, with Duranno. who as sailed the first mate on the deck with handspikes, and having beaten him nearly to death, he threw him, while yet alive and slariking piteously for mercy, into the sea. Afterwards, with two others, he stabbed the captain three times as the unfortunate man lay asleep in his berth. He also took part in the murder of the cap tain's brother. Now, however, Blanco, physically the strongest of all the five, was the most subdued and faint hearted of all. Two crucifixes were suspended from his neck, and though all of the convicts appeared to be amenable to religious consolation, Blanco seemed the most susceptible, in that respect, of all. He hung, as it were, on the words with which his priest tried to cheer him, and at his request a tract was given him, which appeared to have been forgotten for the moment, and which he placed in his bosom. Leon was the last to be hoard, and he bore the ordeal with the quiet cern poura which had marked his bearing on the trial. Those preparations over, the convicts were escorted to the scaffold by the Sheriffs and the rest of the authorities, the prison bell tolling the while. They all walked without assistance, and Lopez with a light, jaunty air. Fur a few moments ' they Were seated in a corridor, where Blanco and Duranno becoming faint, took some stimulant which waa handed to them, as did also Lopez. They were thou one niter another craolue:cel to tee sositf rid, and placed in a row on the drop. Blanco, who had gone first, swooned and fell backward as the rope was being placed round his neck. A chair was then brought, on which he was allowed to sit until the rest of the preparations were made, and it fell with the drop. The excitement among the crowd while the convicts were being arranged on the scaffold was intense, and evinced itself in the hoarse murmur peculiar on such occasions. The preparations having been con eluded the drop fell, and all the five convicts soon ceased to live. Their bodies, after hanging the usual time, were re moved from the public gaze, to be buried within the pre cincts of the prison, in conformity with the sentence. None of the convicts made any formal confession. Leon alone, in general terms, spoke of the share he had taken in the mutiny, but said it was not such as, in his opinion, to have called for the forfeiture of his life. The windowo of all the houses in front of the gaol were filled with spoctiton, who, some instances, paid as much as 10 guineas for accommodation on Sunday nl'ght, and a good view of the execution in the morning. Tics extent of the crowd may be imagined when we say that it extended along the 01(1 B l iley to Ludgate-hill on the one siao, entirely tilling Otitepur-etreet, and into Smith aeld on the t:l'er/ space in bDtwocn Nb:7gate and St. Se besides• cccupying the immense open S e pulcher's Church, of the gallows could be hod.7The numberextending as far down Ilill as a glimpse present t gtb:.ccident. c te ou t l h d e n p r o e s h e a n y t e ti b L n w l e e' l s la t y li e a n n et fr in i rc 3 l C O fo(int;si t c o 40,000.

No quotable change took place in the value of wheat in the country markets held on Saturday. The trade was, however, slow, both for red and white qualities. Malting barley ruled firm at full currencies; but other descriptions of spring corn were in limited request at low rates. The flour trade was quiet on former terms. Now York letters state that the export inquiry for wheat and flour had somewhat abated, and that prices ruled the turn lower. On the Continent the sale of bread stuffs has fluctuated to a very limited extent. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were moderate. The imports from abroad amounted to 11,874 quarters; of wheat, 1?,,640 barley, 6,065 oats, 600 beans, 75 peas, 2,714 tares, 47,225 linseed, 5,426 oilseeds, 3,015 maize, 2,620 seeds, and 3,0 J bales of flour. A somewhat increased supply of home-grown wheat was received fresh up to this moraing'e market, and the condi tion of the produce exhibited a slight improvement. Owing to the prevailing frosty weather, factors commenced busi ness by demanding is per quarter more money both for red and white qualities. Millers, however, wore indisposed to make purchases except on the terms of this d a y s e' n n i g h t ; consequently, the state of the trade was very inactive. The amount of business done was of but moderate extent, at the full prices of Monday last. There was a fair show of most descriptions of foreign wheat on the stands. Good and fine American parcels moved off steadily at fully previous quotations; otherwise, the foreign wheat trade was quiet, yet prices ruled firm. Floating cargoes of wheat and other grain were in mode rate request, and late rates were steadily supported. The show of home-grown barley on offer was of fair average extent. With foreign produce the market:was well surplied. With the exception of good and fine qualities, for ;which there was a steady demand at full prices, the trade ruled quiet at loot Monday's currency. About an average business was transacted in malt at full quotations. The supply of foreign oats on sale was moderate, and the show of English, Scotch, and especially Irish qualities on the stands was tolerably large. The trade for all descrip tions was dull, and inferior parcels wore rather lower in price than on Monday last. The supply of beans on sale was moderately extensive. However, they commanded a steady sale, and late rates were fairly supported. Peas were in fair average request at full quotations. Thera was a moderate supply on offer- For flour there was a moderate inquiry. In prices no change took place. b'rench qualities were in good supply, but barrels were rather scarco.

For the time of year, a full average supply of foreign stock was on offer in to-day's market, but its general quality was vary middling. Sales, consequently, progressed slowly at about stationary prices. From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts fresh up were rather limited. The supply from Scotland was good, from Ireland infezior. Generally speaking, the beef trade was slow; nevertheless, Thursday's currency was well supported. The top figure for beef was ss, but only prime Scots and crosses realised 63 2d per Sibs. The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire amounted to 1,800 Scots, shorthorns, and crosses ; from other parts of England, 500 various breeds ; from Scotland, 310 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, 100 oxen and heifers. The show of sheep was again very moderate, but the quality of most breeds was good. Prime small Downs and half-bred; m - ..ved off steadily at Os, in some instances a Os 2d per 81b3.

THE CRAWLEY COURT MARTIAL. Lord COLVILLE, in conequence of nrequest from the noble earl, the Secretary of War, postponect putting the question relative to the late court martial, which stood on the paper in his name for this evening, until Friday next. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a second time !—Amicable Life Assurance, London Docks, St. Katherine's Dock and Victoria Dock Amalgamation, Victoria (London) Docks, Albert Bridge and Approaches, Cheltenham Water works, Liverpool Exchange, Landon Necropolis and Na tional Mausoleum, Ulveraton Gas, and Waterford and Limerick, Limerick and Foynes, and RatUeale and New castle Junction Railways. THE METROPOLITAN RAILWAY SCHEMES. The Earl of DONOUGHMORE called the attention of the noble earl, the President of the Council, to a paragraph which appeared in the Times of that morning, giving what appeared to be the result of the dOiberations of the joint -committee appointed to consider the Whole of the schemes of metropolitan rail ways, He felt that it was exceedingly undesirable that any premature information on such a subject should be given to the public, because it would affect to a consider able extent the value of the shares in many of those under takings. He was certain that the noble earl had not given his sanction to the publication of such a paragraph, and he should like to give him an opportunity of saying so in his place in Parliament. Earl GRANVILLE said the committee in qaestion had not only not made their report, but had not concluded their deliberations, so that the announcement contained in the paragraph was altogether premature. THE PROPOSED ROYAL ARCADE. On the motion for the second reading of this bill, The Bishop of LONDON presented petitions against the bill. Earl DERBY presented two petitions, most numerously signed, also against the bill, and moved the rejection of the measure. He said the scheme in question was opposed most strenuously by a great number of the residents, both in Regent-street and Broad-street, who considered that the scheme instead of being, as it was stated, a great improvement, would be precisely the reverse. The cost of the proposed arcade was £lOO,OOO, and was mainly promoted by Mr. Gressett, the great con • tractor, Mr. Smith a builder, and Mr. Rolt, the timber merchant, while the inhabitants in the neighbourhood were entirely averse to the scheme. Their lordships would recol lect that the coverad way which existed some short time ago in Regent-street was removed principally in conse quence of the questionable company which collected there, and if the proposed arcade was allowed to be made the same evil would again prevail. Another reason that should weigh with their lordships was that, it would entirely destroy the Burlington School, which was an i n stitu.tion of the greatest value. The Messrs. Lewis and Allenby who carried on an extensive business in the neighbourhood said that the loss to them if the arcade was made would be such that they would rather pay down a sum of £lO,OOO than the scheme should be carried into execution. There Vas not one person whose property was affected by the project who had not objected to it. He thought the wishes of the owners of property in the neighbourhood ought to be considered as w well as those of the three highly respectable gentlemen ho were the main promoters of the measure, and that too for speculative purposes. Ho thought its opponents should not be put to the expenses of opposing the bill in. committee that he moved its rejection on its second reading. Earl ST. GER MANS said although the vestry of St . George's, Hanover -s q uare, had not yet petitioned again' st the bill, they intende d doin g se. After a few words from sev eral noble lords , the motion was negatived without a division. Their lordships then adjourned. SEEDS. Clover seed moves off slowly, but at full prices for choice seed.

A SAD STORY. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. - Charlotte Hehl, a mauled woman, about 50 years of age, residing at 21, Charles-street, 'Middlesex Hospital, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with attempting to destroy her life. George Hehl, an old man, the husband, who said he was a music engraver, stated that on the previous day his wife attempted to hang herself to the bed post. She had secured the rope to the bedpost, then fastened it r3und her neck, and jumped off the bedstead, and but for his promptly cut ting the rope she would have been strangled. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the husband whether she had ever attempted such a thing before ? The husband said sbe attempted a similar thing about twelve months ago, when she was brought before the ma gistrate at this court, who advised him to taka her home with him. _ _ The Chief Clerk asked how the prisoner's face became so disfigured? • The husband said that while under the influence of liquor a few nights ago his wife attacked him like a tigress. He kept her off as well as he could, but as there was a death struggle he had to strike her in self-defence. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the husband might have struck his somewhere else but in the eyes ; but he (Mr. Tyrwhitt) should have thought there was no occasion to have struck her at all, and that he could have held her. It was a sad business, and the wife appeared to have been badly used. The prisoner said she was greatly in fault. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the prisoner whether she drank, and she said she did. The husband said hie wife was an habitual drunkard. Mr. Tyrwhitt again observed that the prisoner had been roughly used. He would remand her for a week, and hoped she would attend to what was said to her, or she would surely come to a miserable end—self murder being a most dreadful thing. The prisoner, whose face was much disfigured, was then remanded. PICKING POCKETS IN A SHOP.—John Smith, a boy, liv ing in French-alley, St. Luke's, was charged with picking the pocket of Hannah Stocker, nook at 26, Russell-square, of a purse containing LI 15s. The prosecutor was in the shop of Mr. Lewis, cheese monger, Tottenham-court-road, and about to pay a bill, when the prisoner picked her pocket of her pump and con tents. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner for a week. WESTMINSTER. Fry BELSONS FOR NOT GETTING DRUNK.--Charles Geary, a carman, was charged with being drunk and inca pable of taking care of a van and horses of which he had charge. Police-constable Samuel Geary (not related to the de fendant), 267 A, said that, between six and seven on Saturday evening, he found the defendant in the King's road, Chelsea, with some horses and a van. He was so intoxicated as to be perfectly unfit to drive them with safety to the public. The van was laden with coals, and a man who appeared to know the defendant came up and offered to take charge of the team and deliver the coals, but defendant refused to allow him to do so. Mr. ,Selfe—What have you to say to this ? Defendant—Well, I had some drink, and it got the better of me. Mr. Selfe—Not an unusual thing if you take too much of it. You were unable to deliver your coals, and when a man offered to take them for you, it seems you refused to let him. Defendant—l had money on tickets for the coals to be delivered, and therefore I was afraid to deliver them to any one else, es he might have taken the money from customers and stuck to it. Mr. Selfe—You should have kept sober, and attended to your business, instead of getting drunk. Defendant—l only took a drop of drink, and there isn't much in that. Mr. Selfe—Yee, there is a great deal in a man getting drunk who has charge of a carriage of any kind and horses. Accidents result from it, children are run over and killed, woman knocked down and injured. I must fine you. Defendant—l hope nat. I have a wife and five children. to maintain. Five children aro a good deal to keep. Mr. Selfe—They are five reasons for your not getting drunk. You are fined 10s., or seven days. I cannot have drunken drivers about the streets. THAMES. DEATH FROM DEMMENNESS.—Inspector Honey, of the k division, called the attention of Mr. Paget, the magis trate, to the first drunken case of the list, and said he re gretted that the prisoner, who was the subject of that charge, was dead. A poor basket woman was found drunk in Bow, opposite the Church, at 8 o'clock on Saturday evening, and was brought to the station house by a police constable. She appeared to be very ill, and he immediately sent for the aid of Mr. Garman, a surgeon who was in the station in a few minutes. The medical gentleman pro scribed for the woman, and she received every possible attention until 2 o'clock on Sunday morning, when she ex- pired. Mr. Paget—This is a very serious matter. Has the poor woman's death been caused by destitution ? Inspector Honey—No, sir, she was not destitute. She had £5 in money about her, of which £1 10s. was in gold. There were 18 oranges in a basket, which were brought to the station house with her. Mr. Paget—What is the cause of death? inspector Honey— I rather think it is apoplexy, your worship. Mr. Paget—What is the name of the woman ? Inspector Honey--I don't know, your worship. She was too ill to give her name or address. She is about 55 years of age. Mr. Paget marked the police sheet " reported dead," and said information must be sent to the coroner. Inspector Honey—That has been done. HUDSON'S BAY TERRITORY. -- The American papers state that permission has been asked for their military authorities to pursue the Sioux Indians in the H u dson Bay territory. In a noto to Lord Lyons, dated the 21st ult., Secretary Seward states that those Indians should either be restrained from making hostile incursions into the e be U n it e d States territory, or United S tates troops should a ll ow ed to pursue, subdue, and di s p erse them. Areport from General Popo to the War Department shows that the English Government has no fo rce in the Rod River Jan region to control these Indians. L ord Lyons, in a note of . 22, sr.y. Le has referred the mattter to his Government, by which it rill not fall, to be immediately taken into onside- ration. HOUSE OF COMMONS---This Evening. The SPEAKER. took the chair shortly before 4 o'clock. CONSTABULARY (IRELANI)). On the metion of Sir H. BRUCE, copies of instructions to the Irish constabulary in force in January, 1858, with regard to the protection of life awl property in Ireland during the night, and also any instructions of a similar character between that date and January, 1864,were ordered COAST LIGHTS IN SCHLESWIG. Mr. BENTINCK asked the President of the Board of Trade whether her Majesty's Government had received any confirmation of a statement which had appeared in the public journals, to the effect that the Prussian authorities in Schleswig have extinguished all the coast lights .in ' that locality o n the shores of the Baltic; and, if so, whether British shipping would not be exposed to great inconvenience and tie; in consequence of that proceeding; and whether, in the opinion of her Ala- jesty's Government, such a proceeding was in accordance with the usages of civilised warfare, in cases where the ssfety of neutral vessels is thereby compromised. Mr. M. GIBSON said that the Government were not in possession of information on the subject, and he believed that belligerent States would take care of their interests without reference to those of neutral powers. (Laughter.) THE KERTCH PRIZE MONEY. In reply to Mr. EWART, Mr. HUTT said that 'these prizes would shortly be distributed. NAVY ESTIMATES. In reply to Mr. BENTINCh.", LordV. PAGET said be mint appeal to hon. members not to press their motions on this subject until after he had explained the policy which the Ministry thought it right to adept in reference to it. THE DANISH PAPERS. On the motion for going into committee of supply, Mr. DISRAELI sail that he had drawn the attention of the house to the subject, and as the noble lord (Palmerston) was not in his place, he trusted some member of the Ministry would give a satisfactory explanation on this sub ject. He had sought information from the neble lord at the head of the Government, but he had failed in that object, and now that noble lord was not in his place. Ho came down to the house purposely for the object of afford ing the noble lord an opportunity of making an explana tion that would satisfy the hones and the country on this important point, when he first drew attention to the subject by alluding to the omission from the Royal Speech of any reference to those papers. He drew the attention of the house to the fact that the explanations in regard to the sub j?ct were different in the different houses. The noble lied the Foreign Secretary (Lord Russell) and the noble lord at the head of her Majesty's Government not agreeing in their statements. He contrasted the conduct of the Govern ment in the present instance with that of the Conservative Government some years back, and contended that the f o r e ign policy of the Government, whilseit excited derision for themselves, covered with ridicule the people of this countev.:(Hear, hear.) He again referred to the absence of Lord Palmerston, and complained of the "scurvy" manner in which he considered the house had been treated in refe rence to these papers. The CHANCELLOR, of the EXCHEQUER said that right hon. gentleman (Mr. Disraeli) was a master of fire works, and no doubt had made a goo d py rotechnic display. (Laughter.) He vindicated the noble lord (Palmerston) from the imputation of not being in his place when this this question was under the consideration of the house. With regard to the production of the papers in question, it must be remembered that the Government were bound to supply not only early but correct information in reference to matters of importance ; and the reason why Government had not given any information relative to the alleged eva cuation of Jutland was because they were not enabled to do so. Mr. B. OSBORNE considered that before they went into the navy estimates the papers in question should be placed on the table. The right hon. gentleman (Hr. Dis raeli) hal been accused of letting off fireworks, but at the same time he had let in some light on this subject. (Laughter.) He was so dissatisfied with the foreign policy of the Government in reference to the Danish question, and he concluded with an amendment to the effect that the consideration of the navy estimates should be postponed for three weeks. Sir F. SMITH objected to the navy estimates being pro ceeded with this evening, on the ground that the house had not proper time to consider them. Lord C. PAGET explained that the estimates were pre sented at the usual time. Mr. ROEBUCK expressed his opinion that the house should have an opportunity of expressing their views with reference to the foreign policy of the Government, in which he confessed he had no faith. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER considered that a motion amounting, in fact, to a vote of want of con fidence in the Government, should not have been proposed without proper intimation. The house then divided—For the motion, 220; against it, 47—majority, 173. [LEFT SITTING.] 9, F RN ,,,,-f , Y e r fOrt 1..a1---a<tkirillaft Return of the Queen to Windsor. Her Majesty, with their Reyal ' Highnesses the Princesses Helena, Louise, and Beatrice, and Prince Leopold, accompanied by her Serene Highness the Princess Hohenlohe, and attended by Colonel the Hon. Sir C. B. Phipps, Major-General Seymour, the Countess of Caledon, the Hon. Mrs. R: Bruce, the Hon. Miss Phipps (maid of Honour), &c., left Osborne on Saturday morning, en route for Windsor. The Royal party embarked in the Royal yacht at Cowes shortly after 11, and experienced rather a rough paseego to Gosport, where her Majesty arrived alongside the Clarence-yard about noon, when the illustrious party were at once conducted to the two state saloons attached to the special train provided by the London and South Western Rail way Company. With a view to the comfort of her Majesty and the Royal family, the day being bit terly cold, with heavy snow storms, the South Western Company had provided 12 newly-designed copper feet-warmers, two feet long and a foot broad, made like flat footstools, and manufactured ex pressly for this journey. The Royal train left Gosport at noon, in charge of Mr. Godson, the traffic superintendent of the above line, who accompanied it to Basingstoke, which was reached at 1.13 p.m., the illustri ous passengers encountering a heavy snow storm between the last named place and Winchester. At Basingstoke the train was taken in charge by Mr. Tyrrell, the traffic superintendent of the Great Western Railway; Mr. Saunders, the secretary, accompanying it to the Windsor terminus, where her Majesty arrived at 2.18 p.m. Mr. Burlinson, the Slough superintendent, and Mr. Matthews, were in attendance on the platform, which was crowded by spectators, largely sprinkled with ladies, while outside the station were five of the Royal carriages and several breaks, the postilions and drivers of which wore their scarlet liveries for the first time. beneath their overcoats, since her Majesty has been in mourning. The Royal party on leaving the train were conducted to two carriages, each drawn by a pair of white horses, her Msjesty taking her Beat in the first, having graciously returned the silent though cordial solutions' of the bystanders on passlng across the platform. The Queen , who was still in mourning, appeared in good health, while the youthfalPrince and Princesses, who have doffed their mourning, could not have locked better after their journey. There wan no guard of honour at the station, but the b ells at St. George's Chapel and St. John's Church rang out merry peals as the Royal party arrived, and left the station for the Castle, which was reached shortly before half-past two in the afternoon. His Royal Highness Prince Arthur arrived at the Castle in the evening, and the Right Hon. Sir G. grey, the Secretary of State for the Home Depart ment, also arrived at Windsor Castle on a visit to her Majesty. The Court will probably remain at Windsor for about three months. TIIA PRINCE OF WALES has expressed his inten tion of becoming patron of the Archaeological Institute, in the room of the late Prince Consort. Her Royal Highness the * Duchess of Cambridge had a dinner party on Saturday evening. at the re-v a i duchess's residence in the Ambassadors' COUtt, St, JaL ues , , Palace. The Duchess of Somerset will have a dexcing party at the Admiralty on Wednesday next. The Bake of Athole has arrived in town from Blair Athole, Perthshire. The Earl and Countess of Yarborough are sur rounded by a select family circle at Brockles.by-park, Lin colnshire. The Earl and Countess of Mou n t•Edgoumbe ere expected home in May. A e Tn or E m lT a lt nc iC e L anL A R a T te E u u rprf A vir —on Friday agivenatth evening the Queen's Concert Room, Hanover square, which attracted a more than ordinarily fashionahle audience. The pieces selected for representation were the three act drama "Plot and Passion," and Morton's laughable farce of " Whitebait at Greenwich." The most remarkable performance of the evening was that of Mr. Palgrave Simpson, who sustained the part of the M. Desmarets in the drama. Without, of course, attempting to compare it with the embodiment of the part by Mr. Robson when the piece was first produced at the Olympic Theatre, we may with truth say of Mr. Simpson's version I of the character that it was quite a surpriza to the audience. It was marked by the greatest intensity, and we could hardly imagine it to be the performance of a gentleman familiar with the stage only as an amusement. Henri do Neuville was also well and powerfully repre sented by Mr. C. Stephenson, and the Fouche Hof Mr. Augustus Spalding was a performance deserving the highest praise. Miss Aylmer Blake, as Marie, and Miss 0 wenlas Cecile, well sustained the high honours ladies invariably secure at all amateur performances. In the farce wo have to notice particularly the performance of Mr Quintin Twiss, as Jacob Small, as a most mirth- exc itieg effort, and with a complimentary word to Mr. Stephedenswono and Mr. S.
